Unfortunately I have negative memories of some of these guys. Mike Haynes left for the Raiders, probably correctly, but I haven't forgiven him for leaving. Sam Bam, still can't let go of his running out of bounds in the 76 Raider's playoff game. Adam, abandoned us for a dome in Indy.
My thinking is that it already was really a list of four Patriots since Brady would be on every list (see the OP's first post). If you add the obvious choice of BB as HC then it becomes a list of three.Out of curiosity, why do people consistently select players in these lists? Surely Belichick needs to be considered? I love the guy especially given his contempt for the media. Watching a Patriots press conference with the stone cold look in his eyes, the dismissive grunts, the death stares... I can't help but PMSL.

Honorable Mention: Malcolm Butler for the greatest clutch play in NFL history!!
I know it was really only one season and don't get me wrong I loved Martin and was PISSED he went to the jets but Dillon 2004? Clock killin was unbelievable that year, like every game in the 4th quarter the other team KNEW he was getting the ball and he would get 5-8 yards every time. He was the greatest closer I have ever seen that year. Different RB with a different style but I loved the physicality he brought to the offense. Give me the big back that people just refuse to tackle anymore at the end of the game.Honestly I loved that 96 team. A big reason we were so good was because of Curtis Martin and Terry Glenn. Two amazingly talented players.
Martin is arguably the most talented patriots RB of all time. I would say easily. Watch highlights of his playoff performance vs Pittsburgh in 96, I have never seen a patriot running back that good in my entire life. Just unbelievable. Just incredible incredible vision. Maybe one day I could see talent like that again in a pats uniform at RB
Terry Glenn: in case you forgot, watch some of his patriots highlights from 96. He made some of the most amazing catches I have ever seen in traffic. He got incredible height in his vertical jump, got great separation, had great hands, and no one was better at making the impossible sideline catch than him. He caught this one 50 yard bomb in 96 it looked like he jumped 10 feet into the air. I forget who it was against. Unfortunately Brady and Glenn only played a few games together but they made it count. Glenn put up a dominant performance vs San Diego in 01. Even far past his prime, Glenn put up quite a few 1000 yard seasons with bad QBs in Dallas. Watch his highlight tape sometime in his prime, he looked like Brandon Lloyd on steroids. A rare talent.

Gotta go to work, but somebody put up Coates' lifetime stats and Gronk's to date...?
Thanks... don't know how it'll come out but my guess is Gronk compares well after only a few years
